On her show last night, Rachel Maddow did a long interview with Jon Stewart. It was edited a bit for broadcast and, of course, chopped up for the insertion of commercials. This is the uncut version which runs almost 50 minutes. I'm going to watch this later today or whenever I have the time but my impression of last night was that Mr. Stewart, perhaps because he was under the weather, didn't do the best job defending his position. At points, he seems to think that any comparison of what he does on his program to what he criticizes in others is unfair merely because he defines his show as being in a different category. Or criticisms of his rally are unfair because as far as he's concerned, he did what he set out to do…and I'm still a little fuzzy on just what that was.
Maybe this uncut version of their chat will change my opinion but I don't have time to watch it right now. If you do, here it is…
